They all left staring at it in shock, as the wall crumbled before its large body, which shimmered under the light, due to it being thick skinned and was covered in what looked like the same similar slime, that they had found on the bodies earlier.
The creature had an elongated body, slim as a snake yet large and had four legs, though small, it made it nimble and much faster than they had expected and it was dark red mixed with yellow in colour.
Its hiss echoed throughout the room as it looked around, but Sion noticed something else about it, it was using its senses, it was sniffing around instead of looking, which only meant one thing, it was blind yet that did not make it any less deadly.
They exchanged glances as Sion stepped forward quietly and he picked up a small piece of rock and threw it to another part of the door and the creature's ears perked up, it swiftly moved to that direction and Sion's eyes narrowed.
An idea began forming in his head, though the creature was blind it was equally as strong and due to it being an unexpected one, it explained why people died easily at its hand.
"What are you doing?" Ash asked him quietly.
"He noticed it is blind, am I correct?" Nethaniel asked.
"Yes, but we still need to defeat it however, it will not be that simple, it has heightened senses, but we do have some advantages if we are fast enough and if we can find a way to hurt it from the inside, with that skin, there is no way it is going to take much damage from the outside," He responded.
Nethaniel looked at the creature and saw the little bits of slime on its back, which helped in protecting its body like a shield, however flammable from within.
"Then, let's rile it up and take advantage of that, there are many of us, we have a bit more advantage against it, but while we distract while fighting, someone has to get it from the inside," Vicana said and Sion nodded as his eyes glowed slightly orange.
"Let's do this then," He replied with a smirk and Vicana chuckled as he placed his cuffs together and hit the floor, causing it to rumble a bit.
The creature turned its attention to them as it rushed to where it heard the noise and Vicana jumped out of its way, causing it to get a bit agitated as it found nothing there.
The creature's eyes narrowed as it looked around carefully, using it sense and they all stayed still, not making a sound and Zena's eyes narrowed, as she watched what was going on from her position carefully.
The creature's body moved passed her and she held her breath as it circled the area, not making a sound, for from her current position, she was much more vulnerable than anyone else there.
Sion noticed it getting closer to her and his eyes narrowed as a magic circle appeared behind him, releasing bolts of fire, hitting the creature, causing it to flinch and move away from her.
She looked in Sion's direction a bit grateful and his eyes narrowed as he drew the creature towards him and the others looked carefully.
"What the hell are you doing kid?" Vicana mumbled as he hit the floor, causing the creature to get distracted one again and the floor cracked slightly, for he had the earth ability.
Earth spikes shot up from the ground, surrounding Zena, in a barrier, to keep the creature away from her and the creature's attention was pulled into many different directions, not knowing which one to follow, due to which it was getting angrier.
"Focus," Lilian said to them and they nodded.
Each of them had their own thing to do, in order to find an opening to attack the creature and get it into a vulnerable position, which was not going to be easy,
Sion looked at it, as it was getting confused as well as angrier, which was not a good thing and they all knew that, but it was something that they had to risk.
"We cannot afford for it to find a way to counterattack, we have to do something," Sano said and Nethaniel's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Sion then at the creature.
"Sion, I will distract it, I am strong enough to take it on, on my own for a little while, that much I can handle, you however, you will use it to your advantage and once I get its mouth to open, use its acid and slime against it, with your flames," Nethaniel said and Sion nodded.
That was a plan that could work and they all knew that the creature was strong, one could not get past it easily.
Nethaniel's blade appeared in his hand as it lit up, drawing the creature's attention from Sion to him and the others and Nethaniel's eyes glowed as the creature rushed to him.
It was about to attack him but he managed to dodge and attack it, at the same time Sano and Ash joined in, while Vicana kept his barrier up around Zena and Lilian, who were both vulnerable at the time.
Sion looked carefully as the three of them kept the creature distracted. Then he noticed one of Nethaniel's attacks, the same one that he had used against the spiders earlier, had injured the creature's leg a bit, causing it to hiss in pain.
"It's leg, aim for the right leg," Sion said and Nethaniel nodded when he saw why Sion told him to do that.
Sion dashed forth and the creature's eyes began glowing, as one of his eyes darted towards Sion, making him pause and that's when he realized, the creature was looking at him.
[The creature can detect heat signatures, like those of a snow dragon.]
Upon hearing that Sion stopped moving and the creature toward directly towards Sion, seeing his aura higher than the others and it roared, sending the others crashing into the ground.
